Mushkin, Inc., an industry‐leading designer and manufacturer of high‐performance and mission‐critical computer products, today announces at CES 2013, the world's largest consumer electronics show, the worldwide release of its new line of 1.8‐inch Chronos SATA III (6Gbps) solid‐state drives (SSDs), now shipping in 40GB, 60GB, 90GB, 120GB, 180GB, 240GB and 480GB capacities.

The new line of 1.8‐inch Chronos SSDs feature a smaller, lighter footprint than the previous generation, and offer performance and reliability improvements for power users.

"Mushkin continues to push the envelope with higher performance, higher capacity and higher reliability products, and the new line of 1.8‐inch Chronos SATA III (6Gbps) SSDs is just one example," said Brian Flood, Director of Product Development at Mushkin. "With these improvements, the new drives are very well‐suited for professionals and for solution providers in demanding environments like digital signage, healthcare and point‐of‐sale."
